Abstract
The structure and properties of diffusion brazed titanium alloys joints of the various titanium alloys (PT-3V, VT6, VT6S, VT20 and VT22) are investigated. The optimal technological parameters to produce the joints of the equal to the base metals strength are proposed. The effect of plasticization of the two-phase titanium alloys (VT6S) after high temperature annealing near the polymorphous transformation temperature (during brazing) is shown. An improved method for brazing high-alloyed titanium alloys is considered using the example of (α+β)-titanium alloy of the transition class VT22. Brazing was carried out through a titanium interlayer using an amorphous tape filler, providing a joint strength of 1000 MPa.
